Makes a fuss of a slate noisiness (15)
I believe the answer is:
sensationalises
'makes a fuss' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'of a slate noisiness' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'a'+'slate'+'noisiness'='aslatenoisiness'
'aslatenoisiness' with letters rearranged gives 'SENSATIONALISES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
